I have also thought a few time that if the Lindens insist on allowing any one to sign up, with no checks or payment, and therefore allow all the alts anyone might need for griefing - well, perhaps then some other restrictions could be brought in to stop this sort of mess.
How about a resident has to be in game for a period of time before they may script? Perhaps a month? Any genuine person will surely not mind waiting, there is plenty else to do and discover first. It would prevent repeated alt creation/griefing a bit.
I have been in Second Life just short of two years now. Yes griefing is worse now, considerably. I do not spend as much time in the game now as I used to, and have tiered down a lot. Perhaps the Lindens have forgotton that it tends to be residents who have lived in SL a little while who pay the biggest tiers - alienate them by allowing this chaos to continue unabated and they are going to start losing out, big time.

I seriously doubt that LL can or do have a way to monitor IP addresses, most banned ppls dont get caught, as alts, till they try and cash out. There are numerous ways to varify an account, such as sending the password to a legitimate e-mail account, with a password provided to get in for the first time.The email addy would provide an IP address, and a trail that could be followed by any good law enforcement agency later if need be. Yes this would cost a few bucks to do, but once a program is in place, it auto runs without much upkeep needed later.
No i agree, theres a place for the free accounts, just not unvarified. Unvarified says one thing, you are coming in under a cloud of anonimity, for whatever reason, am sure most cannot be good ones. |

I just thought about this and, sadly, even forcing people to give CC info probably wouldn't help.
Most likely, these people who cause these problems would phish for CC info and use those as verification, which doesn't help us or LL because a) it's a stolen card and b) the info given would either be false or quite possibly the info of the fraud victim. I hate people who do this sort of thing. Oh how I wish I could exact revenge. *sigh* |
